This photograph is of a woman standing in a small, blue plastic pool. She faces us with her right hand on her hip and the other at her side. Her right leg is slightly bent. She has pale skin and long, red hair flowing past her shoulders and appearing to be blown black in a breeze. She has a neutral expression on her face and is wearing a white one-piece swimsuit with a V neckline. Floating in the pool near her feet is a large silver ball. In the background there are several clotheslines with white sheets hanging from them. On the left, a white bag also hangs from one of the lines above a woven basket sitting on the grass. Beyond these clotheslines are large metal silos and tall gray structures. To the left and right there are trees. The sky above is white.
